Determine the use per month (shows you on the base info screen)

Continue shipping in supplies with your ships. APs or AKs, mainly AKs.

You can ship supplies at the same time you ship troops (on the same ship to be exact). I would highly recommend this.

Your unload rate at the base will depend on a handful of factors.

Size of port
Type of ship
Dock vs unloading over the beach
Naval support at base
Can't think of any else off the top of my head

There are also buttons (Yes/No) by the supply and fuel levels at each base that allows you to stockpile. Turning on stockpiling for supplies at a base will do just that.

You also need to look at the chart in the manual for spoilage. It takes into account the port size + airfield size. The combination of the two at nine or higher, no spoilage occurs.

You can also increase /decrease required supplies at every base. This is not intended for one-dot island bases...it COULD affect the auto convoy system (I don't use it, so I do not know)

This works for land bases connected to one another by various types of roads/railroads. Supply moves at different rates on different types of roads (in the manual). For example, you can request more supply at Townsville, and they will draw from the surrounding bases SO long as bases in the network are not set to stockpile. IF this is confusing, I can explain in more detail, or someone will explain it in more detail. Alfred will come along and explain this in a few sentences , so need not worry. The man is incredible.

What else would you like to know?

Hope this helps..

Try 1 or 2 small scale pbem's first - you probably still have a lot to learn and getting your ass handed to you in Scen1 after a few turns is not nice for the rest of '42

Since that thread there has been a significant change introduced in the last official patch. Previously secondary industry continued to produce even if an enemy LCU was present in the hex, provided there was still access to the raw materials. That was changed in the patch to stop production. Michaelm raised whether he should go back to the previous situation, at least with regards to Light Industry. I haven't checked with the current beta to see what he finally decided to implement.

You might want to look at this AAR. Lots of information.
